BCM Prototype upper?

will Geissele rails or other rails with anti rotation tabs fit on this upper? And does it have the tight fit barrel extension that the normal BCM uppers have?

Dude. Like six people have these uppers.

And it's a prototype. Doesn't even mean it's going to be brought to market.

The hype on these is insane. If BCM brings these to market, they'll sell truckloads to people who have never actually worn out or broken an upper receiver. But they'll get to "upgrade"...

I find the same to be true no matter who the manufacturer or what their latest greatest widget is.

But it keeps the economy going so I can't complain to much and every once in awhile a true innovation comes along.

This is an upper receiver, and since they haven't exactly reinvented the wheel, how much testing needs to be done between all the "BCM Gunfighters" that are leaking the prototype to the public? Rhetorical question.

It’s not just a new shape, KD said there are vents for the gas. That means it does offer more capability and probably needs more testing.

That's not something I had heard, but that does peak my curiosity.

Honest question; I know a lot of peope don't see the need in reinforced upper receivers, but isn't one of the biggest advantages of these reinforced upper receivers to prevent injury in case of a catastrophic failure?

I could see using something like this or a VLTOR MUR on a heavy use training rifle and/or if you plan on running non quality ammo, whether it be factory ammo or reloaded, etc.. due to the increased chance of an ammo related catastrophic failure.

There were at least a few members who stated they liked the MUR for this reason a few years ago, IIRC. I think IG posted photos of a kaboom in a MUR and mentioned that it was pretty well contained.

^That's most of the reason I like the MUR.
